DPD dropped off some stuff.
Wow, I didn't expect to get these freebies just for ordering a packet of Haribo, can't complain.
I've forgotten how tiny ITX boards are.
CPU and RAM fitted.
CPU cooler fitted, I know it's terrible, but for an i3, I don't really need anything better, I'll upgrade to a Xeon 1230 V3 someday and get a better cooler. (Probably AXP-200R)
MSI R9 270 Gaming GPU.
SG05 itself.
Everything taken off.
Replaced the stock fan with Silverstone Air Penerator (red LED)
Board fitted in the case.
GPU fitted, hardest thing to do, took some fiddling to get it inside, it's almost as long as the case itself.
Cables plugged in.
Messy cable management, one of the things I don't like about this case, it'd be nice if I had that Silverstone modular SFX PSU.
The back of the case, I'm gonna leave the stickers alone.
Good to go now.

I love how compact this case is, the fan gives it a nice glow.
